Well.....I'm back from vacation and I wasn't that good granted it was a little difficult to be. I went to Croatia and packed protein bars and bought fruit while I was there however I don't like protein in a shaker I can only stomach it with a blender and the bars kept melting since it was so Hott. I didn't get my protein in and ate way more carbs then I should have and well it shows. Granted I weighed myself at the end of the day but the scale said 3 pounds I gained. Also since I wasn't getting my protein in I didn't use the bathroom regularly and that might have something to do with it. We did a ton of walking and swimming. I can't be bummed because I knew it was going to be bad. I just hope I can lose these 3 pounds and get back on track now I'm 17 pounds from goal :/ Lesson learned on being a fat kid on vacation you come home to being sad ;(

I know how you feel about the protein shakes. I bought a little blender from Target and take it with me when I go on vacation. It isn't as good as my Vitamix but it is better than nothing!

I have been eating like a crazy woman! And I guess its cause surgery is just around the corner and i am going thru this 'gotta eat it now' deal. I know its crazy!! Today was a little better than the weekend, but I still ate things I normally wouldn't eat!

Here's to both of us getting back on track!! :)

Becca, I did the same thing! But, at this point, I haven't missed much. Mainly mexican. But, my DIL made quesidillas Saturday night and I pureed it and it was GOOD!! No tortilla, of course.

Good Luck and you will get back on course!

JJ I love my vitamix lol I hate to spend money on a 220 V blender we only have 6 more months here ill get over it lol Rubymama you are right. I woke up early and cut the grass and the neighbors too lol got to sweat this out Becca I did the same thing! My husband was so mad at me before surgery because he gained weight when I went on my eating binge! Lol Ndawn- the cruise will be awesome! Atleast there you have a lot of options lol in Croatia we had meat for dinner but all there little stands of food were pizza and bread of some sort. Delicious but after a week of eating sandwiches. Pizza and other snacks it got old lol

I think you did pretty well, actually. Now that you are back on track, things will get back to normal and you will be back to losing.

Forgive yourself and start over... You know what to do... I don't think 3 pounds is that bad (remember to tell me that if I ever post that is happened to me)...

Remember you are human, and as humans we are going to slip up from time to time... But getting back up and doing what we need to do is what's important...

You have done great... Be proud of yourself... I have faith that you will reach your goal in no time at all.. I have 19 pounds to reach my goal so I will walk this leg of the journey right beside you.. I won't race you though, because we will get there in our time....

Thank you so much Ida Joy
Kathi ray that sounds great! As of this morning it was 1 pound lol I guess the constipation from this last week was holding me down a little it was either that or the 2 hours I spent cutting grass an sweating like a maniac this morning lol either way I appreciate all the support from this site and I look forward to this last leg with you!
